      It means thrift stores used to be a place to buy older, used clothes for cheap. But since thrifting has gotten very popular, thrift stores have gotten more and more expensive and are no longer a bargain destination.

      There’s a lot of trendy second hand clothing stores now, and the people who own them go to thrift stores and pick them clean of anything good, so they can upsell it for profit. Same thing happens with vinyls and anything cool that may be there.

      I know a thrift store or two that always provides be good stuff, so I guess they haven’t hit those yet
